As we've now come to expect from Symantec, Norton Internet Security is a solid, professional piece of software, doing what it does thoroughly and with a minimum of interruption. There doesn't seem a whole lot new in the 2013 version and there are other products which include extra modules for the same money, but the core requirements of an IS product are well covered here.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition reliably protects workstations and servers from viruses and malware. If you choose the on-premise installation, the software updates automatically. If you choose the cloud-managed service, it gives you management control through a web console and you don't have to worry about providing resources to run the solution; deployments are effortless.

Symantec focuses on protecting against malware at every level, and the latest Norton AntiVirus (2014) does more than ever to block real-world malware attacks. This focus costs it points in static antivirus testing, but the product is effective. I use it myself.

Norton is still one of the best choices of IS software on the market and with the discounts available widely on the Internet, it represents very good value for money. We'd prefer to see it being a little less Internet dependent for functions like help, but in other ways, like its Pulse updates, that same aspect provides extra protection that can be very valuable.However, some other providers have built in multi-platform support at a lower cost and offer a larger online storage allowance than Symantec’s 2GB.

Norton Internet Security 2013 really hasn’t sat on its laurels since last year’s version and as well as the revised, simpler interface, it has improved in a number of areas such as social network security. Symantec continues to offer excellent protection against viral attack and, more importantly these days, against spyware and identity theft too. It did very well on its AV-Test evaluation and was only half a point off the group leader.

Overall, Symantec has put together a solid product. We found that the value for the money spent is good. Operating the system was very intuitive. The dashboard was simple and uncluttered. Everything from monitors, reports, policies, clients and admin was located on the left toolbar, while a set of status graphs and reports provided a quick security status.

Norton 360 is a solid security suite for home users and especially families. It has the best parental controls of any security suite we tested. The parental controls are managed online so you can access them anywhere and allow you to micromanage your children’s online activities. Other than that, I have no problems recommending Norton 360. It is a fantastic security suite and one of the best thus far.
